Jackson
Proscow and his fellow reporters are Heroes – Thank you!
Today as I trolled
for stories that I have been following I came across an interesting piece by Jackson
Proscow, the Municipal Affairs reporter with Global News.
Jackson Proscow
I have seen Jackson
on TV often as he brings on the spot reporting whenever something is going down
or coming up.
In the most recent
furor with the “Ford Circus” I caught it that Jackson was the one that asked
the now infamous but all important question, “Have you ever smoked Crack?” – to
the Mayor of Toronto. Apparently all the other reporters had never asked that
correct question before – but now Jackson had and the Mayor stepped into the next
phase where he started to admit more and more.
Today I listened
to Jackson give me another slant that is so important to all of the stories… the
reporter’s life through all the “BS” that is slung around them.
Jackson
described what is like to be stationed outside a happening story that may
suddenly have a whole new slant. The reporter waits and waits and waits and
waits. That is one more wait than the Mayor had “ever-s” when he said the bad
actions on his part will never ever happen again.
We have
all seen the mash of reporters outside the Mayor of Toronto’s Office – waiting the
BIG MAN to appear.
Jackson
shared what it is like to never know if the Mayor is in a Bad of Good mood… and
how it affects him answering or not.
Before I go further read Jackson’s article at “A reporter’s life on ‘elevator watch’ outside Mayor
Rob Ford’s office”
Few of the
public will even consider what the reporter goes through to tell a story to us.
In their
own lives they have to be pretty sturdy with their emotions. They have to be
very careful that they do not tell this BIG ASS MAYOR to simply drop dead. And
that is why I am not a reporter as I have thought those thoughts of the liar on
my screen of the TV.
Few of us
would be able to have stood and keep standing when you are called a “maggot” by
the Big Man and treated with as much disdain as one could possibly muster… the Ford
Nation hates the Maggots even more than Ford does – in that the Maggots exposed
their hero.
Yet
Jackson Proscow keeps coming back to the story wherever it might happen.
I am
admiring his stick-to-it-ness. My hat goes off to Jackson and his fellow
reporters whatever their company may be.
There is
much talk now of the Mayor of Toronto needing time off to get his act together.
I sure
hope that the Managers at the News Rooms and Papers see the need for the
reporters to get some time off as well.
They certainly must need it.
Finally –
thank you to Jackson Proscow and the other reporters for the fine work you have
done. Not only in this story but in others as well. You Gals and Guys rock… and
are my heroes.
Hang on
folks – don’t quit and keep telling us what you see. We need that. Thank you.
